What is sea freight?

Sea Freight: It is to transport goods into foreign trade warehouses by sea.

Sea freight provides two modes: Sea freight express (sea freight + express) and sea freight plus trucking (sea freight + trucking).

 

1.Sea freight express (sea freight + express): Supports double clearance and tax, after the goods arrive at the port and customs clearance is completed, the goods will be delivered to the warehouse in the form of express delivery.

2.Sea freight plus trucking (sea freight + trucking): Double clearance does not include taxes, and tariffs are paid according to the tariff bill. After the goods arrive at the port and customs clearance is completed, they are directly delivered to the corresponding warehouse by truck. 

US sea freight is authorized by businesses to entrust freight forwarding companies to transport goods to US warehouses. Customs clearance and tax payment are required, and the goods are delivered to specific warehouses.

First-leg logistics is a part of cross-border e-commerce trade, which has led to the development of cross-border e-commerce logistics. Cross-border e-commerce logistics is different from traditional trade, and requires cost compression and efficiency improvement, making it more suitable for first-mile logistics channels. The focus of cross-border logistics is on pricing, timeliness, and safe and stable shipping methods, including air, sea, rail, trucking, and express, which can be combined as needed to simplify and facilitate store operations management.

For US first-leg cross-border e-commerce, no one wants to increase their logistics costs, as this part of the expense accounts for a large part of the cost. Choosing a good channel that is fast, cost-effective, and high-quality is important, as making the wrong choice can lead to delays in listing products or even cause the products to fall behind in rankings or even face penalties. The choice of US shipping method is crucial as it affects the cost of US first-mile shipping.
